Procedure documentationAvoiding Incomplete Upgrade of SAP Host Agent Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

We recommend that you create an empty file called .upgrading in the $DIR_NEW directory to avoid that saphostexec starts the upgrade procedure during the extraction of SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR – with the consequence that only part of the newest version of the packages is upgraded.

Procedure

  1. Create the .upgrading file in the $DIR_NEW directory.

  2. Extract SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR to $DIR_NEW.

  3. Remove .upgrading from the $DIR_NEW directory.

Example

> cd /usr/sap/hostctrl/new/

> touch .upgrading

> SAPCAR -xvf SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR

> rm .upgrading
